05 Mar 2017 // spring is coming and i'm so happy to be able to focus more energy on running!!!! 2.83 slooow sunday miles

[blackcoffeeandblankpagess]

Thoughts from the weekend

🌲this was a much needed break that kinda shocked me into being present and literally not even thinking about 99% of the stuff that was cluttering my brain all week which was good

🌲generally speaking I think I vibe much better with guys lol we took two cars there and our car was me, jared, elliott, and tanay and the other car was will and the three girls and I just enjoyed their company so much and the conversation and idk just vibed with them really well. the guys made a giant megabed in their room which was 5(?) beds pushed together and called it “boys town” which was hilarious and there was a weekend long battle between the guys and girls (jared and I were honorary boys town members) and it was just so...fun

🌲yesterday the guys set out for a 10 mile hike and like...i KNEW i was sick and that was a dumb idea but of course I went but jared and I turned back early because my HR was equal to a run and we were literally walking on flat ground still and I felt like crap so I was like okay...maybe not

🌲also I know guys are not immune to ED struggles but generally speaking I feel like guys are way more chill about food and it is always refreshing to be around that or even just around anyone in general who is a normal eater because in this void of the internet it’s easy to get very confused as to what “normal” is

🌲back to being sick- I feel like crap! Kinda frustrating to know that if this had just been a normal weekend I’d probably be fine by now especially because this is the third time I’ve been sick recently and we have a busy travel week coming up but 🤷🏼‍♀️. My throat is on fire and I barely have a voice and my lips are chapped af from having to sleep with my mouth open since I can’t breathe through my nose so that’s less than ideal but it’s okay

🌲I spent very little time on my phone this weekend because friends + disfunctional phone and uh we all already know this but social media is Not The Best and I should probably like...read a book

🌲feeling like I am really in a good spot, or getting to a good spot, with food. As I predicted my insane OCD flare up this fall actually benefited me to some extent in realizing how much of my lingering food issues are just manifestations of OCD which has made me way better at handling them and I’m feeling really hopeful about it

🌲haven’t run the past three days because sick but I was hitting that point of anxiously rethinking my running plan 300 times per hour going into the weekend so I think this break was probably a good thing, HOWEVER, there was a bike path alllll along the lake that was perfect and beautiful and I so wish I could have done my long run there this weekend

Um also @rachaeldee @sunandrunn @over-your-hill can we plan a spring tahoe trip with our SOs I feel like that would be fun and it’s trail running paradise thx

[morticiaatoms]

So much love for my scrunchie pal and soul sister @sunandrunn!! 💛

I was tagged by @sirffej 

1. I follow: @sirffej @yesdarlingido @championsaremade @r-jacob @rickyficarelli @sunandrunn 

2. Number of followers: 95, and about 2 actually interact with me but hey I’m grateful for those few

3. Average hours of sleep: around 7 or 8. I also tend to have wildly intricate dreams most nights. 

4. Lucky number: 7. (it’s not really lucky at all, it’s the football jersey # of the guy I had a crush on when I was in 7th grade and I just started using it as my “lucky number” and still haven’t stopped?)

5. Instruments: sadly, I don’t play any but if I had a guitar I would absolutely teach myself and then upgrade to electric because electric guitar is where it’s at :)) 

6. What are you wearing: a Muggle Quidditch t-shirt that I borrowed from a friend when I needed to change that I just never gave back to him (not all that sorry because I was actually supposed to buy the shirt from school and forgot so…) and some leggings with holes on the knees because I wore them while playing a game of German Spotlight and I tripped and fell down a hill but never threw them away because they are still my favorite pair of leggings. 

7. Dream job: something to do with environmental conservation and the artful expression of that. honestly, anything to do with nature, art, plants, minerals, literature… this list could go on forever. 

8. Dream trip: the redwood forest, a snowy mountain range, a through-hike of the appalachian trail, the desert, alaska, italy, rome, idk too many places that I don’t know about but I’m sure I would love

18. Favorite Artist: hmm this one’s difficult because I like so many different arts/artists. I do like Claude Monet and Salvador Dali. But honestly I think my favorite artist in general is Nuno Bettencourt, the guitarist for Extreme. He is just truly amazing on the guitar and has so much pure talent.

21. Last show you watched: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (it was my childhood fave okay, get over it)

22. Why did you make your blog: I liked how different this platform was from everything I was used to and the versatility of it. I also wanted a safe place to share my true thoughts and feelings away from the pressures of my peers (although I eventually became confident enough to share the link to my tumblr on my insta to give people the option to see how I really feel)

23. What do you post: some original thoughts, writings, pictures. reblogged words that I agree with, relate to, find funny, think should be spread. art that I find beautiful, relevant, intriguing. photography that reflects my feelings, or that I just find pretty. this all turns into lots of girl power, nature, cars, flowers, healthy thoughts and reminders… idk all kinds of stuff

25. AO3: I have NO idea what this is ??? someone wanna inform me pls? thanks. 

26. Do you ever get asks: sadly, not ever. :( I really wish I got at least a few,  so please if you see this, don’t hesitate!

27. How did you get the idea for your url: when we got an xbox one I needed a gamertag so I combined a nickname (carlita) and my middle name (elizabeth) to get carlitabeth and then I used that as my username for everything

28. Favorite food: chicken (it’s so versatile and just tastes so great and can be cooked too many ways to count), pizza - there’s this one at a restaurant called “Bread and Circus Provisions” in Lafayette, LA, USA called “the Bee Sting” and honestly y'all it’s the best pizza I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. if you are anywhere near there please do yourself a favor and go eat it !!! like ASAP. (sadly, I don’t live there anymore and can’t enjoy this pizza on the daily…)

29. Last book you read: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling (for probably the fourth time) and The Dark Half by Stephen King (great book!! very entertaining and just a good read)

30. Top 3 fictional universes: Wizarding World [of Harry Potter], whatever you wanna call the setting of The Dune Chronicles by Frank Herbert (also, highly recommend these… very daunting and intense but super worth it), and once again, the Wizarding World [of Harry Potter] (because it really is just the best, I mean come on.)

R U L E S; Tell your followers 11 random facts about yourself and tag 11 people. Tag backs are allowed but if you do get tagged again you must not repeat any of the facts you mentioned in the previous round. The facts can be absolutely anything, whatever comes to mind first.

Thanks for tagging me @slightlyfreckledrunner!!!

1. I have two tattoos. My first one is on my ribs in my grandmother’s handwriting that says, “All my love, Nanny xoxo” and my second one is on my wrist and it says, “Fearless”.

2. I’ve been a vegetarian for the past 5 years and really wanna go vegan but I’m still not entirely confident on eating a proper diet for that kind of lifestyle.

3. I met Taylor Swift. I was invited to her NYC secret session she had for her 1989 album! 

4. I’m super active, in fact I used to play a multitude of sports. I played soccer, danced, volleyball, tennis, cheerleading, cross country, and track and field.

5. HOWEVER, I only really stuck with running and playing tennis! I currently play tennis on my college’s team and might be running track this spring for them as well (I’m still not 100% sure, I miss running on a team though :( )

7. I’m originally from Eastern Long Island.

8. Although I go to school in NYC I’m way more of a country/woods/mountain girl. In fact, I kind of forced myself into this city because I felt as if it’s the most beneficial spot to be for my future career. So I’m making the best of it!

9. I loveeee country music! I just went to Eric Church’s concert this past weekend and ugh, it was so amazing.

10. Moose’s? Meese? What is the true plural of ‘Moose’? Anyways.. they’re my favorite animal. :)

Other blogs: Just this one!

Do I get asks: I do! Often, they’re questions I’ve already answered (John-, running-, school-, eating-related) so I often go without answering them and just hope they find the answer they’re looking for, which sounds terrible of me now that I think about it? I just like to be thorough, and I don’t have as much time to spend on tumblr as I used to.

Blogs following: Quite a few running pals that I’ve been following since I started this blog back in high school, botany-, farm-, and forestry-related pages, and some “cottagecore”!

My brother and I just left the climbing gym and I’m currently waiting in the car while he runs in to Starbucks to get the coffees for that post climb cup of happiness ☕️

•

Before climbing it’s been a slow morning; managed to sleep in until 9am (!!?) and folded two loads of laundry 🧺

I honestly hate being at home when my mom is home, all she ever does is bitch about stuff and whenever I try to talk to her about literally anything, all she does is tell me to “get to the point of the story faster” or roll her eyes with annoyance when I tell her things. Like today, I was trying to tell her about the gym and she just blatantly stops listening halfway through and makes comments about the relevance of what I’m saying.. 😒 well you bitch about me not talking to you and then when I do you act like this. Every time. Soo you really wonder why I hate talking to you or being around you 90% of the time?! /rant

Anyways, gonna just burrow myself in bed in my room and do my hw for the rest of the day pretty much! I’ve got thea tagging along with me for that haha 🐱
